This was the biggie to end the trek, 26 miles. We set off at 6.30am, as we needed to make sure we finished to be able to get back to Byrness for the night. Really hard going at first, totally lost my walking legs, what a day to lose them on. The first 7 miles were really hard, mud, steep climbs and yes, a bit more marsh and bog. Stopped at the first mountain hut and had something to eat, picked up a little and the rest of the journey was better. Weather was dry all day, which was a blessing, very cold though and windy. We made it into Kirk Yetholm, where the support crew were waiting to take pictures. Rutherford and Beaty bear made it too, clean and dry, if a little squashed. Day 18 complete.
